Producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz sat down with The Hollywood Reporter this week to dish on the reboot that has many fans saying — "Huh? But why?" – and explained why execs wasted no time bringing the hit show back.

She also spoke on the insane paycheck Katy Perry is reported to be receiving as a judge — and explained why the pop star is totally worth it!

The sudden death of Chris Cornellrocked his fellow musicians to the core.

Dozens of tributes have poured out in the wake of the Soundgarden frontman's tragic suicide, most being of the musical variety.

Aerosmith, Metallica, Train, and U2 were just a few bands who paid homage to Cornell on stage over the weekend, dedicating performances to the late rocker and delivering heartbreaking covers of his own hits, like Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun.

Musicians like Chris Daughtry, Ryan Adams, and Ann Wilson of Heart also paid tribute to the late legend with their own covers. But the most emotional tribute came from Taylor Momsen, who nearly broke down performing Audioslave's Like A Stone.

Seeing as Momsen's band The Pretty Reckless opened for Soundgarden the night Cornell took his own life, we can't imagine how she got through this performance.

The Season 5 winner appeared on the Domenick Nati show Tuesday, sounding less than enthused about Daughtry's new role, as he said:

"I think a winner should be [a judge], personally. Because, what you go through to win the show is a lot different than what you go through when you're third or fourth, you know, or fifth. Or tenth. If they were going to have a judge that's from the show, if they're going to have someone from the show who was actually a contestant, I would feel like a winner would be the best suited."

Mmhmm. Tell us more, Tay.

The 40-year-old also said he'd be interested in a judging role but that the show should've waited a few more months before its return.

As for whether he's been approached for a judging gig? He said:

"I'm just gonna be tight-lipped about everything. I'm not confirming or denying it."

As we reported earlier this month, the radio personality has been in talks to host the ABC reboot which could air early next year. Fast forward to this week, the new Live! host is reportedly very close to reaching a deal, meaning he is definitely in!

What better way to celebrate Daughtry's 10 years in the industry than to see them perform a concert live for Direct TV's Audience Music show.
